Horse Dragons have equine-shaped bodies and hooves instead of claws, which allow them to be fast runners. They specialize in running takeoffs, which are quicker than taking off from a stand-still. Horse dragons are able to stalk their prey from the ground then quickly execute an aerial attack for the kill.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Banjo is an odd dragon who has learned to play the banjo with her tail. It all started when she was a hatchling. She had been taking a walk and tripped over something since she hadn't been looking where she was going. It turned out that she had tripped over a strange sound-making contraption that she later learned is called a banjo. She learned that humans used it to create sound known as "music". That very day Banjo swore to become the best banjo player in the world.

How Banjo got her full name is another story. After finally mastering the basics of banjo-playing with her tail, she was going to perform her new ability in front of the other dragons. Banjo had been becoming more popular with the other dragons. Not only was she good at it, but she was the only dragon that knew how to play!

Of course, Arti didn't like that another dragon was getting more popular than her. Just before the performance, Arti stole Banjo's banjo and stuck a cookie inside it. You can guess how Banjo reacted.
